Robert De Niro's fictional home in 'Zero Day' asks $15M

An estate fit for a president — albeit a fictional one — just hit the market in Westchester County. 

Rabbit Hill estate, set along the Hudson River in the village of Briarcliff Manor, hit the market for $15 million, the Wall Street Journal reported.

The Georgian Revival-style home gained substantial exposure as the fictional residence of George Mullen, a troubled former president portrayed by Robert De Niro in the Netflix miniseries “Zero Day,” which premiered earlier this year.

The thriller kicks off with scenes featuring De Niro savoring his short-lived retirement at the house, swimming laps in its 50-foot pool and enjoying time with his dog on the perfectly manicured lawn.

In reality, the 22-acre estate is owned by hedge-funder Doug Haynes and his wife, Laurice Haynes, the Journal reported. 

Rabbit Hill’s origins trace back to 1929, when it was designed by American architect Mott B. Schmidt for a Wall Street banker. Schmidt also designed homes for prominent families such as the Vanderbilts and the Astors, as well as 655 Park Ave. and a wing of Gracie Mansion.

The red brick house at Rabbit Hill — accessed via a gated, quarter-mile-long driveway — spans roughly 13,000 square feet. The first floor includes a marbled-checked foyer, a modern kitchen and a sunken family room overlooking the garden. A curved, floating staircase, positioned over a herringbone brick floor, leads up to the second floor and its seven bedrooms.  

Listing agent David Turner, of Compass, told the Journal that part of home’s value comes from the land itself, with its roughly 22 acres of lawns, gardens and woodlands overlooking the Hudson River.  

Rabbit Hill’s current owners bought the property in 2016 for $9 million and proceeded to undertake millions of dollars worth of upgrades and restorations, the Journal reported. A location scout for “Zero Day” approached the couple in 2023.

What began as a six- to eight-week departure from their home turned into a year-long separation due to Hollywood strikes, and the owners bounced around a Palm Beach home and various rentals, according to the Journal.

Netflix compensated the couple for their time away, according to the outlet, and gave the pair a cameo in a “Zero Day” party scene for their troubles.

The home was a principal location throughout the miniseries, which premiered to mixed critical reviews. Rabbit Hill was previously featured in the long-running NBC series “The Blacklist,” as well.
